The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo looked down from high in the sky and could clearly see the situation below.

The originally blue sea water gradually spread out from the middle to a huge shadow.

This shadow is a bit insubstantial at first, but as the area gradually expands, the color of the shadow gradually grows.

He immediately realized that something was rising in the sea!

…

The Viking pirates on the warship had not noticed anything strange in the water, and they still gathered on the deck. They excitedly raised their heads and waved to the sky, thinking that they were the warriors from the Hall of Valor.

At this time, Qin Zhibo lowered his height and landed on the top of the mast of one of the warships.

"All warships obey my order and disperse!"

Qin Zhibo landed on the battleship and waved his hand.

All the Vikings stared at him intently, seeming to react before taking action.

"All warships, disperse!"

"spread!"

"Swipe right! Swipe right!"

"Swipe left! Skate left!"

In the Viking game scene, pirates originally obeyed the players' orders, so now they naturally obey Qin Zhibo.

The warships spread out in all directions at full speed, and the huge wind blew the four-sided sail like a pregnant woman about to give birth.

At this time, on the sea where the fleet had gathered just now, a dark sea vortex appeared in the center.

"There's a vortex on the left! There's a vortex!"

Qin Zhibo looked in the direction of the oar's fingers, and sure enough he saw a whirlpool brewing on the sea.

In the vortex, a large amount of pale white mist spurted out from the darkness in the center, and quickly spread to the sea surface under the influence of wind.

"Slightly...it stinks to death!"

"What is it? It smells so bad!"

The foul gas seemed to open a thousand long-rotted tombs at the same time, blowing across the unclean foaming sea.

The Viking pirates, including Qin Zhibo, couldn't help but cover their noses to avoid being fainted by the stench.

Now Qin Zhibo is complaining, why is this complete stealth technology so realistic?

The changes don't stop there.

The clear sky above our heads was now shrouded in green clouds without any warning.

The visibility on the sea dropped sharply. The sun had just risen, but now it felt like evening.

"Light the torch!" Qin Zhibo shouted loudly.

"Light the torch!"

"Light the torch!"

The Viking pirates conveyed instructions to each other on the warships, and more than a dozen torches were immediately inserted on the dozens of dragon ships.

But this little light was insignificant on the dark sea.

Qin Zhibo stood at the top of the mast, staring closely at the place where the vortex appeared just now.

The place was already shrouded in foul-smelling mist. It was impossible to see clearly, let alone fly in rashly.

He knew that these were not the original designs in the game, and the "green signal" had taken the bait.

"Everyone! Prepare to attack!"

Qin Zhibo's voice spread on the sea. Hundreds of Viking pirates on more than a dozen warships picked up axes and shields one after another, staring at the sea with death-like eyes.

In the concept of the Vikings, they will not be timid in any battle, and sacrificing themselves on the battlefield in the most heroic and fearless manner is the lifelong belief of a Viking warrior.

Even when faced with scene changes that are not designed in the game itself, these most ferocious warriors can face it calmly instead of screaming and running away.

However, Qin Zhibo didn't expect the NPCs in these games to do anything. It was enough for him to test the situation on the other side.

…

On the treacherous and sudden sea, all the Viking pirates and Qin Zhibo were ready.

Just when the sea was extremely quiet, a huge sticky tentacle suddenly stretched out from the white mist, and its thick front end quickly rolled up a Viking standing on the bow of the ship.

"ah--!"

The pirate's body was caught in the air by the tentacles, and with a "bang", the whole body was crushed by the tentacles.

The death of a Viking did not make the remaining Vikings timid, but instead ignited the anger of all Vikings.

"oh--!"

"Fight Him!"

Puff, puff, puff...

The Vikings kept hitting their shields with their swords and axes, making a continuous rhythmic sound, which was equivalent to a war drum and a signal for the Vikings to ask for battle from the opposite side.

Qin Zhibo was doubting whether the "Green Signal" would respond to the provocation of the game NPC, and a dozen tentacles stretched out from the white mist at the same time.

These dozen tentacles were precisely directed towards the positions of all warships!

Qin Zhibo immediately summoned the [Oath-Keeping Sword], jumped in the air, and slashed at the green tentacles drawn towards the warship he was on.

When the sword struck hard at the tentacle, he first felt the sensation of being struck on the colloid, and the blade felt like it was sinking in.

But when the power reached a critical value, the green tentacles were suddenly cut off.

The severed tentacle fell onto the sea surface and turned into a line of complex and obscure green code, sinking into the seawater and disappearing.

The roots of the tentacles quickly retracted into the white mist.

Immediately afterwards, the Viking pirates on Qin Zhibo's warship immediately cheered for victory.

"As expected of a warrior in the Hall of Valor!"

"We won! We won!"

The Vikings below raised their hands high, but Qin Zhibo knew that this battle was more than that simple.

Because the Viking pirates elsewhere were already locked in a bitter battle, the shouts of the pirates and the ping-pong of weapons formed a complex symphony that spread across the vast sea.

"I'll be back as soon as I go!"

Qin Zhibo jumped up, activated the flight controller, and flew towards the nearest Viking warship.

On this warship, more than a dozen Viking pirates were trying their best to chop down the green tentacles that had boarded the ship.

However, their weapons had no effect on the tentacles. The raging tentacles were like entering an uninhabited land, and they could drive away a Viking with just a flick.

Qin Zhibo quickly flew to the middle of the tentacle hanging in mid-air, held the sword in both hands, and swung it towards the tentacle with all his strength.

Still feeling the same hit, the tentacle was chopped into two pieces. The chopped off tentacle turned into a line of code and sank into the sea water, while the remaining tentacles retracted into the white mist.

Qin Zhibo continued to fly to the next pirate ship without waiting to hear the cheers of the pirates below.

It was still the same situation. Although the Vikings on the ship fought hard, their weapons seemed to be made of a different material from the same world as the tentacles and could not cause any harm at all.

Qin Zhibo cut off the tentacles with one sword, saved a whole ship of Viking pirates, and flew to the next warship without stopping.

In Qin Zhibo's eyes, although these NPCs have no offensive capabilities, they can attract "green signals" to take action.

This is like the mechanism of defeating a game boss. Although I can fly and fight now, rushing into the white mist without enough vision and information is definitely a very dangerous move.

But if the "Green Signal" can take the initiative...

But this time, for some unknown reason, Qin Zhibo felt that although the "green signal" had appeared, he had no interest in invading the game world on a large scale.

Maybe it’s because I’m the only one who loaded the game this time, but last time there were 51 people’s minds connected to the game!

Qin Zhibo successively rescued Viking pirates on more than a dozen warships and cut back the green tentacles sticking out of the white mist.

The Vikings cheered for their victory, but Qin Zhibo stood on the mast and stared cautiously into the white mist.

He knew that this little damage was nothing at all.

In other words, the essence of the "green signal" is a strange string of evil codes. No matter how many of his tentacles are cut off in the game, he can be reborn with the help of the code.

"Green Signal" cannot be killed.

Qin Zhibo originally did not want to kill "Green Signal", he just wanted to save Sawada Hiroki from its hands.

But now, not even Sawada Hiroki's shadow can be seen at all.

Qin Zhibo carefully observed the movement on the sea, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He thought that since he was in a game, he should make full use of the nature of the game.

He quickly raised his head and shouted to the sky, "Wind! I want wind!"

“Let’s have a strong wind!”

The Vikings in the warship looked at the "warriors" on the mast with a somewhat baffled expression.

"Is the Warrior speaking to Valhalla?"

"probably……"

The NPCs in these games didn't know that Qin Zhibo was talking to staff outside the game.

…

In the studio, Shunsuke Suzuki and several other engineers looked at the live game played on the external monitor and were very confused about what was going on.

"Is there a mission for this level in the game?"

"I don't know? This scene doesn't seem to be in the game plot manual created by Mr. Kudo..."

"Will it be an exclusive plot for the second episode, a special plot Easter egg only provided to the players of the second episode?"

The engineers were confused and guessing among themselves.

At this moment, an engineer thought of the scene at the previous press conference and said: "This seems to be a level where the Norwegian Kraken appears! This is a special level added by artificial intelligence Noah's Ark!"

After hearing the engineer's guess, everyone's expressions were shocked. They speculated that the bastard anti-human AI that held Japan's back wave hostage was back again.

"It's strange, why does this artificial intelligence always have trouble with this game?"

"What should I do now? Mr. Suzuki, do you want to force the disconnection?"

Shunsuke Suzuki looked nervous and bit his lip.

After a moment, he made his decision.

"Disconnect!"

"Cocoon"'s game console has a newly installed circuit protection chip. Shunsuke Suzuki can be very sure that even if the cord is forced to be unplugged, Qin Zhibo's brain will not be damaged.

But if Qin Zhibo continues to play, nothing may happen.

It seems that if you want to play this game in the future, you must have anti-virus software...

Just when Shunsuke Suzuki was about to pull the cord, Qin Zhibo suddenly shouted loudly on the game screen.

"wind!"

"I want the wind!"

The engineer outside the game was a little confused, "What does this mean?"

Shunsuke Suzuki thought for a moment, "Does he want to blow a strong wind in the game? And then clear this level?"

"Theoretically, it's not impossible... Then someone, adjust the air flow parameters of the real-time scene!"

"That person" in front of the console immediately controls the keyboard and replaces the air flow parameters with another set of parameters.

These are the game parameters of the sea storm level scene in the game. Just apply them directly to the current scene.

As the scene parameters changed, Qin Zhibo in the game immediately felt the strong wind blowing between his arms.

The original green clouds were gradually replaced by dark clouds, and the rain fell in patter, and under the strong wind, it kept beating on the helmets of the Vikings.

Seeing the sudden storm, these Viking pirates became even more convinced that Qin Zhibo was the god of the Hall of Valor.

Otherwise, how can we control the wind and rain?

"Great warrior!"

The Viking pirates below were shouting, but Qin Zhibo felt that these NPCs were a little noisy.

His eyes were fixed on the white mist. Under the influence of the strong wind, the strange white mist was gradually blown away, revealing the huge vortex that had appeared on the sea surface before.

At the center of this vortex is a dark hole, as deep as a bottomless pit, as if it is not part of the boundary of this game.

Those tentacles just now must have stretched out from there.

And the root of the "green signal" is right there.

Qin Zhibo observed for a moment, then his body suddenly rose up and flew towards that position.

When he flew directly above the vortex, Qin Zhibo turned his head downward and dived into the black hole at high speed.

The moment he rushed into the black hole, he felt that his eardrums were about to burst, and countless seawater poured into his ears crazily.

A deafening rumble echoed in my ears. This was not the original sound of this game.

The uncomfortable feeling of suffocation eroded Qin Zhibo's brain, and he was about to faint in just a few seconds.

He quickly tried his best, waved the Oath-Keeping Sword in his hand, and slashed randomly at the surrounding seawater.

A cut was made in the pitch-black sea water by the blade, and the endless darkness and depth inside enveloped Qin Zhibo's body.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself in the dark square on the game login interface.

On the stone ground, a huge green body spread its teeth and claws, and its bloated figure almost filled the entire space.

He has a terrifying green octopus head with countless tentacles on his chin that are constantly twisting.

A pair of scarlet, arrogant, narrow eyes were revealed on the slippery, mucus-flowing head.

This is the essence of "green signal"!

The moment he met those eyes, Qin Zhibo was in a state of confusion, and his hands holding the Oath Keeper sword almost trembled.

Qin Zhibo: Will -30

He could swear right now that this was the most terrifying image he had ever seen!

Such a bloated existence can only be seen in the most terrifying nightmares. The real world cannot accommodate such a huge body.

Not even Enkai’s temple!

And even so, Qin Zhibo felt that this was only a partial projection of the complete body, because his lower body could not be seen anyway.

Qin Zhibo was in a trance, looking away from the terrifying octopus head as much as possible, and forced his attention to those twisting tentacles.

These tentacles all grow on the chin of the octopus head, and the appearance of random twitching and stringy mucus is extremely disgusting.

And in the innermost part of the green tentacles, Qin Zhibo saw an existence of other colors.

It was a crystal clear crystal, wrapped in a tentacle at the innermost part of the dense tentacles.

Through the crystal, you can vaguely see the figure of a child curled up with his arms wrapped around his knees.

That kid is Hiroki Sawada!
